Hello, all. So the RP kinda skipped the normal IntChk phase due to already having a growing interest on a Discord Server and people wishing to make their characters ASAP. However, some of the rest of you who were not on the server probably deserve an introduction. We're setting our stage c.3100 years before the events of the [i]STAR WARS[/i] films. The Hapes Consortium is at odds with the Galactic Republic, having forged an alliance with the Mandalorian clans. A sub-faction of Sith is rising near the Unknown Regions, just under the Republic's radar, gathering resources and minions from the primitive tribes in the Western Reaches. And the Hutt Cartel is slimy as ever.

What do I need? A few players, and one GM. We currently have GMs for the Republic, Jedi, Sith, and Cartel. However, we lack a GM for the Hapes Consortium. More detail on them in a hider below for anyone possibly interested in that last GM spot. And for those who are looking to simply follow, we have plenty of slots open for you as well. For further information on the RP, check out the [b][url=https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/183142-star-wars-galactic-fractures-knights-of-the-grand-republic/ooc]OOC[/url][/b]. It is currently in the process of being updated with more details and fancy-dos. For ease of communication, also be sure to take a look at our [b][url=https://discord.gg/mjhSCJm]Discord Server[/url][/b]. It's where I'll be handling a large portion of the OOC shenanigans.

[b][color=ef9c00]Hapes Consortium[/color]:[/b] A government ruled largely by women, who have forged an alliance with the Mandalorian clans to aid in their secession from the Republic. They consider the Jedi to be manipulative, and the Republic incompetent and incapable of maintaining peace. They are currently attempting to expand their area of influence to other worlds; they believe others should see their same point of view. As the Mandalorians allied with them are a combat-oriented creed, they have seen a few skirmishes in their expansions.

The Hapan matriarchy may consist largely of women in the noble class, but even the men within their culture hold themselves with the poise of kings. The Hapans are famous for exotic spacecraft with slick designs that are both beautiful and effective in combat. The leaders of this faction consider themselves most effective at politics, though some Hapans do take to combat or piloting. However, the bulk of their militant forces are made of Mandalorian soldiers, who consider this alliance a chance to prove their strength to the galaxy. While they do not think the Hapans a stronger group of warriors, the ships the Hapans produce have become a fast favorite among their pilots, and are deemed an appropriate bribe to earn the service of the clans.

In addition, the Hapans have gathered allies from some other notable neighbors. Firstly, the [url=https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Zeltron/Legends]Zeltrons[/url] of Zeltros, while perhaps not the most notable of allies, the Zeltrons' ability to produce pheromones for the purposes of manipulation has helped in swaying others to their cause. Second, the [url=https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Umbaran/Legends]Umbarans[/url] from Umbara, invaluable spies and, when needed, assassins of near-unparalleled skill. Lastly, the [url=https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wookiee/Legends]Wookiees[/url] of Kashyyyk who are powerful warriors, and whose homeworld is brimming with prime natural resources used in expanding the Hapans' influence.
